Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
Jon Turteltaub, the director behind the National Treasure films as well as the upcoming The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, is in talks to direct a film based on the origins of the Greenpeace movement in the 1970s and 1980s — specifically, its founders, Bob Hunter and Rex Weyler. I’m actually a little surprised that no one has [...]
Deep down, I think we all knew it was too weird to be true. Sylvester Stallone had been talking a while back about how the fifth entry in the Rambo franchise would feature his character hunting down a genetically engineered monster. If ever there was a shark to be jumped or a fridge to be [...]
Bosco and his team raid a house where a kidnapper is allegedly holding a hostage, but when they break in, the CBI team is who they find. On the floor is a mummified corpse wrapped in plastic. As the shock wears off, a surprised Jane asks the team to “lower the guns, please.” Back at [...]

The five-episode series employs live-action, 2-D and 3-D animation techniques. “Outer Space,” from creator/executive producer Russell Barrett and executive producers David O. Russell and Scott Puckett, centers on the galactic adventures of eight misfit astronauts [...]
The day of the screening I was joking around with some friends at my day job and came up with this snazzy catchphrase regarding the new movie 2012: “Only John Cusack can outrun disasters of massive proportions but not be able to stop the disaster that was his character’s marriage.” I knew that Amanda Peet [...]
There’s more human suffering on display in Roland Emmerich’s 2012 than any other film I’ve seen. Emmerich raises the stakes of his own game, creating a level of destruction that outdoes anything seen in Independence Day or The Day After Tomorrow. Where he succeeds most brilliantly is in forming a perfectly satisfying piece of [...]
![[Exclusive] Rain talks Enter the Dragon remake](http://www.atomicpopcorn.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Ninja-Assassin--440x120.jpg)
Recently I had the chance to participate in a roundtable with the Korean pop star Rain to discuss his upcoming film Ninja Assassin. During this short time I questioned Rain about the possible remake of Enter the Dragon, which he’s been rumored to star in. While he was tight lipped for the most part, he did [...]
